- the reheating temperature is higher than 950°C, the austenite structure may be coarsened, so that sufficient impact toughness may not be secured.
- the hot-rolled steel sheet in which the structure is formed as 100% of an austenite phase by the reheating process, is quenched to room temperature at a cooling rate of 2°C/sec or higher.
- An upper limit of the cooling rate during the cooling is not necessarily limited, but may be limited to 100°C/sec in consideration of cooling equipment.
- a tempering process in which the steel sheet is maintained within a temperature range of 600 to 700°C for (1.9t+30) minutes or more, is performed.
- the steel sheet After the tempering is completed, the steel sheet is air-cooled to room temperature.
- the steel material of the present invention may be further subjected to a post weld heat treatment (PWHT) process to relieve residual stress caused by a welding process added when the steel material is manufactured as a pressure vessel, or the like.
- PWHT post weld heat treatment
- Conditions for the PWHT process are not necessarily limited, but the PWHT may be performed within a temperature range of 595 to 635°C for 120 minutes or more.
- the steel material of the present invention secures tensile strength of 480 MPa or more and Charpy impact absorption energy of 100 J or more at a temperature of -50°C even after a PWHT.
- the steel material of the present invention has a thickness of 10 to 150mm.
- a thickness of the steel material of the present invention is less than 10mm, a shape defect may occur during a cooling process subsequent to a rolling or reheating process.
- the thickness of the steel material of the present invention is greater than 150mm, a cooling rate may be insufficient during a cooling process subsequent to a reheating process, and thus, a ferrite fraction may be excessively increased to result in difficulty in securing a target level of strength.
- Steel slabs having alloy compositions listed in Table 1, were reheated within a temperature range of 1120 to 1170°C according to respective thicknesses (mm) thereof, and then finish hot-rolled at a temperature of 930 to 1000°C to prepare hot-rolled steel sheets.
- Each of the hot-rolled steel sheets was air-cooled to room temperature, reheated to a temperature of 910°C, and then quenched to be cooled to room temperature.
- Each of the cooled hot-rolled steel sheets were tempered within a temperature range of 635 to 680°C, and then air-cooled to room temperature to manufacture a steel material.
- Each of the steel materials was subjected to a post weld heat treatment (PWHT) in which each of the steel materials was maintained at a temperature of 615°C for 165 minutes. In this case, the PWHT was performed twice.
- PWHT post weld heat treatment
- a specimen was taken in a direction, perpendicular to a rolling direction, and then observed in a 1/4t point with an optical microscope, and then ferrite, bainitic ferrite, and martensite phases were distinguished from each other by naked eye using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) equipment, and then a fraction of each of the phases was measured.
- EBSD electron backscatter diffraction
- the impact toughness was evaluated by performing a Charpy V-notch impact test at a temperature of -50°C. The impact toughness was measured three times, and an average value and individual values thereof are listed.
- thickness-dependent microstructures of steel materials may be confirmed. Specifically, it may be confirmed that a steel material was formed to have a mixed structure of ferrite, bainitic ferrite, and tempered martensite when a thickness of the steel material was 30 mm or less, whereas a steel material was formed to have a two-phase structure of ferrite and bainitic ferrite when a thickness of the steel material was greater than 30 mm.
- Comparative Steels 1 to 3 having alloy compositions which do not satisfying the present invention, were all formed to have a single-phase structure of tempered martensite because a great number of hardenability elements were contained when a thickness of a steel material was 60 mm or less, and were formed to have a composite structure of ferrite and bainitic ferrite or a composite structure of ferrite, bainitic ferrite, and tempered martensite when a thickness of a steel material was greater than 60 mm.
- Inventive Steels 1 and 2 exhibit excellent surface quality because no star crack was generated in surfaces thereof, whereas Comparative Steels 1 to 3 exhibit deteriorated surface quality because the number of generated star cracks were 5/50m 2 , 4/50m 2 , and 5/50m 2 , respectively (see FIG. 1 ).
- star cracks are considered to be generated because a grain boundary was embrittled due to enrichment of copper (Cu) included in a large amount.
- Inventive Steels 1 and 2 had excellent strength and impact toughness in a 1/4t point and a 1/2t point in a thickness direction after a PWHT, whereas Comparative Steels 1 to 3 had deteriorated impact toughness after a PWHT.
- Comparative Steels 2 and 3 each having a relatively high content of titanium (Ti) as compared with Comparative Steel 1, a coarse (Ti,Nb) (C,N) carbonitride was formed as they were exposed to a high temperature for a lengthy period during a manufacturing process, and impact toughness is considered to be deteriorated because the carbonitride acted as a factor to induce cracking.
